Scrubbing pads with Salicylic Acid work pretty well. If you're careful, you can scratch off the surface and let it weep a bit, then put some Neosporin on it to let it heal.
Also wash a couple times a day. Got to keep the germs out!

Exfoliate with facial sponges, every day. The black heads are caused by your pores filling up with impurities and your skin being out of balance and basically "clogged".
It shows up after a hot shower because your skin is hydrated and pushing the stuff up, or swelling it up.
See an aesthetician and get a facial, have them do an extraction (it's painful but worth it). Do this once every three months and you will lessen your blackheads.

Well, you need to open your pores as in a hot shower as you noticed. Then you need to wash your face well. Use a granulated scrub and then after washing rinse with cool and then cold water to close your pores so they will not fill up with dirt as that is what makes them black to begin with. Just stick to opening them with warm/almost hot water and then cleansing and then closing wiht cool/cold water and you should see a difference soon. Tea tree oil, or melaluca, is a very good antiseptic cleanser to use. You can use a moisturizer after you have cleaned your face and closed your pores. Just don't use any makeup. That will only make matters worse. Keep clean.
